Rethinking T.W. Adorno

[Ralph Dumain]

Panel 8 of this year's Socialist Scholars Conference "Rethinking T.W. 
Adorno" convened on Saturday March 15, 10am-noon.  The panel consisted of:

Chair: Michael J. Thompson, LOGOS: a journal of modern society & culture 
(see: http://logosonline.home.igc.org/)
Stephen Eric Bronner, Rutgers University
Andrew Rubin, Georgetown University
Jeremy Shapiro, Fielding Institute
Christine Kelley

I have already reported on Rubin's contribution.  I missed Bronner's 
presentation, but he told me afterwards that it was based on an essay in 
his most recent book.  My memory is not so good, buy my guess is that the 
source is:

  "The Limits of Metatheory: Political Reflections on the Dialectic of 
Enlightenment", in:  Imagining the possible: radical essays for 
conservative times (New York: Routledge, 2002).

The last two speakers were the most interesting of those I heard.  In 
answer to the question, what can we learn from Adorno, Shapiro focused on 
what Adorno had to say about aesthetic experience.  Christine Kelley 
recounted her experiences of teaching Adorno to working class students.

Details to follow, perhaps.
